Background

Background Info from the Sunday News July 16th 2006 Mr Graham's 1997 murder shocked New Zealand. His body was found on a south Auckland roadside with numerous stab wounds to the head and legs. He had been bound and gagged with packing tape. Szeto laughed at the family of the deceased after he was sentenced in 1998 to life for the kidnapping and murder of the Auckland businessman. The day before, police had found a ransom note in Graham's bloodstained and ransacked Ellerslie home that read, "If you call the police you will never see him again. We will call you".

From a Dominion story 15/12/1998 THREE men found guilty of the murder of Auckland businessman Graham Kirkwood were each sentenced yesterday to 10 years in prison for kidnapping Mr Kirkwood at the time of this death. Tony Gee Siu Szeto, William Xiao Jun Cao and Bieu Manh Pham, all in their 20s, were found guilty last month of murder, kidnapping, aggravated burglary and car theft. Murder carries a mandatory life sentence and at the High Court at Auckland yesterday Justice Williams imposed sentences for the other convictions. He handed down concurrent jail terms of between five and eight years for aggravated burglary and car theft.

He also sentenced two other men, also in their 20s, who were found not guilty of murder, but guilty of manslaughter, kidnapping and aggravated burglary. Hoang Sua Nguyen was given a concurrent jail term totalling eight years, and Arnold Hoan Phan was sent to prison for 6 years six months. All five have denied murdering Mr Kirkwood, 56, who was attacked in his home on May 23 last year. His body was found dumped in a South Auckland reserve. Parts of his BMW car, which had been crudely cut up, were recovered from different areas of the Auckland region.
